Speak for the Lord

2 Kings 5:2-3 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman’s wife.  And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.

God works powerfully in this story to heal Naaman, captain of the host of Syria, of his leprosy and to make him a believer in the God is Israel.  We can only imagine how his belief in God influenced others in Syria and within his influence.

What brought about this great conversion?  the words of a little maid!  She was a captive and servant to Naaman’s wife.  She knew the true and living God.  She respected God’s prophet.  She boldly shared about his power.

God used those few words spoken by a little maid to change Naaman’s life.  God is looking for someone he can use today.  You do not have to be super intelligent or talented; all you need to do is be willing to speak a word for the Lord.  Who knows how God may use your witness?

Are we so in love with Jesus and so in awe of His power that we cannot help but speak for Him?
